She took his advice, and through ex-
cellent management, and the aid Of
a devoted staff, paid off the. debt,
built new offices, greatly improved
the paper and is now at the head of a
superb establishment. After two
years she married Mr.. Nicholson,
who continues to manage the finan-
cial affairs of the paper, while she
has the sole control of the editorial
columns, the politics of which she d.
reefs, and every part of which under
goes her daily scrutiny. The Plea
yune has never been more prosper
GUS than now, and is a splendid tri-
butte to a woman's administration.
With all this, Mrs. Nicholson is a
gentle, feminine woman, and a grace
full poet, in fragile health, a loving
wife, and devoted mother to her two
pretty boys.

A LITTLE BOAT.

My life is like little boat
Upon mighty river,
1t rocks and sways but keeps ahoat.
And swift the current ever.
CHORUS: Asking not to know the way,
Wishing not to turn or stray,
Floating every night and day,
Onward to the ocean.
Sometimes the skies are soft and fair,
And bright the summer weather,
And loving voices fill the air,
AS boats glide on together.
Sometimes the skies are dark as night
And not star shines DER me;
It's often hard to steer Alright
When rocks are just before me.
And yet know the love, that guides
The boats upon the river,
Will keep me safe, whater betides,
Forever and forever.

characteristic energy, are envied by
all nations. 1t is the general use Of
DR.. Harter's Iron Tonic which brings

Judge Lambert Tree, of Chicago,
our minister to Belgium, is in the
city, and called upon the President
today. Judge Tree paid a visit to
Mrs. Cleveland last evening. Presi-
dent and Mrs. Cleveland will not
spend June at the Faquier White
Sulphur Springs as has been announc-
ed.
His Royal Highness Prince Freder-
ick Leopold, of Germany, only son
of the late Prince Frederick Charles,
the cred Prince" of Prussia, the
granddaughter of Emperor William,
arrived in this city Monday morning.
The Prince is travelling incognito as
Count Hohenssein and has almost
completed tour around the world.
He is nearly twenty-five years old,
about six feet tall and well proper
toned. He is of light complexion,
has blue eyes and brown mustache.
Taken altogether he looks more like
an American than German.
Judge William D. Kelley, of Penn
sylvania, arrived here Monday, en-
route home, as he expressed it, from
Congress. Immediately upon the adj
journment of that body in March he
left for an extended trip through the
South, and has visited the States of
Florida, Georgia, Alabama and Ten
nessee, and returns very much i'm

Perhaps the most modest man on
the grand stand at the unwilling of
the Garfield statue was j. @. A.
Ward, the sculptor. While in this
city last week Mr.. Ward spoke Of an
incident which came to his mind
while engaged upon his statue of Gar
field. He said. "In 1860, while liv-
ing in Ohio, / was at work upon a
bust of Gov. DeAnison. One day ]
called to see him in his office in Co.

The Violet.
Sunday School Advocate.

Sunday School Advocate.
Napoleon, First Consul, asked Jose
phine what present he should bring
her on her nameday. "Only bou-
quet of violets, "she replied. On the
morning of the day-it was in Febru-
ary-Napoleon was waiting inpa-
tiently for the arrival of violets he
had ordered from Versailles as it was
impossible to get them from the
gardeners of Paris.
While waiting he received from an
unknown hand a magnificent bouquet
of violets. Hesprang on his horse,
and galloped to Malmaison, and pre-
sented the flowers to his wife. From
that day Napoleon loved the flower,
and Josephine alwaya had violets
about her. When she died violets
were planted on her tomb.
Napoleon planted violets at st.
Helena. During his exile the ques-
ton, asked by one wearing button
hole bouquet of violets, SIS this your
favorite flower? Do you like its fra
grance?" meant, Are you friend
to the exiled Emperor, and do you
favor his return to France?
When the Emperor's remains were
restored to France, as soon as the cof-
fin touched French soil it was cover
ed with bouquets and wreaths of vi
Diets.
While Louis Napoleon was wait
ing in the room of a Paris hotel to
learn if he had been chosen president
of the republic, he noticed that the
landlord had stood on the mantle and
window-sills costly vases filled with
violets. In after days, when Louis
became Emperor, he remembered
that delicate attention of the land
lord.
The president often visited the vii
la ola Spanish family near Paris
The eldest daughter of the house was
the attraction that drew him. Al
first she rejected his attentions. But
one evening a large assembly at hel
mothers house saw Eugene appear
in an exquisite violet toilette. There
were violets in her hair, violets loop
ed up her dress, and in her hand she
carried a bouquet of violets. Tht
guests understood, from the language
of the flowers, that Eugene had &C
ceqted Louis Napoleon's offer of mar
riage.
In the early days of the Second En-
pire, on the 18th of November, it be
ing the Empress's name-day, ther,
was an ovation of violets offered Il
her. Tens of thousands of punches O
violets were thrown over the railing
of the Tuilleries. The servants pileC
them up into pyramids which reach
ed as high as the first-foor windows
They decked the doors with them
and the great balcony, from whicl
the Empress greeted the people, seem
ed made of violets.
There have been many change
since then, but to day the violet i
still the favorite flower of thousand
of Frenchmen-so deeply has Napo
leon stamped himself upon the i'm
agination of France.

p The alarming disease Of this
country is nervous debility and
prostration. 1t goes under
many names but it is essen.
tally the same complaint.
Hospitals and private institu.
tons for nervous patients are
crowded The average of life
in the United States is de.
creasing every year. Sudden
deaths from nervous collapse
among our business, profess
ional and public men are so
frequent as scarcely to excite
remark. The majority of sui
cides, committed without ap.
parent reason, or underso-called
depression of spirits" are
really prompted by nervous
prostration, which is a fruitful
source of insanity and crime
with all their grief and horror.
These facts are startling.
They threaten the very life Of
the nation. They assail the
springs of its power and pros
perity. They wreck manhood's
strength and woman's useful.
ness and beauty.
Every one should know the
causes. What are they? The
answer is easy and terribly
plain: Our vicious personal
habits; our careless andlawless
eating and drinking; the In
tense mental and physical strain
arising from our mad race after
money, position and influence;
the fears and struggles of pow.
erty; the use of narcotics and
stimulants; our fashion of
turning day into night and
night into day; and, briefly,
our desperate willingness to
pay any price for an hours
pleasure or success. So we
burn ife's candle at both ends
and fill the lunatic asylums
and the graveyards.
The disease from which we
suffer and die is, in plain Eng
lish, Nervous Dyspepsia, as it
is seated in the Nerves and in
the organs of Digestion, Assim-
ilation and Nutrition. Healthy
digestion being impeded or des-
troyed, the whole body, nerves
included, is literally starveo';
even when there is no enact
alton to tell the sad story.
Nervous prostration send e
out its warnings:-headach
In the morning; a persisten
dull heaviness or aching at thu
base of the brain; wakefulness
loss ofappetite and disgustwith
food; loss of mental energy and
interest in ordinary duties and
business; restlessness and anx-
iety without any assignable
reason; quotations; bad
breath; foul mucous on the
teeth; occasional giddiness;
palpitation of the heart; sal
Iowness of the skin; coated
tongue and gradual failure Of
strength and ambition.
The remedy is a total aban.

A Famous Beauty.

"Miss Mitchell. the daughter of the
junior Senator from Oregon. is a fam
Gus beauty" says a Washington letter
to the Boston Traveller. She has been
recognized as such here and has received
the most flattering reception in the best
circles of society at the Capital. When
she went to Europe most of her time
was spent in Paris, where she at once
became the center of throng of admir-.
ers. Gradually it dawned upon hel
friends that the Due de Rochefoucauld,
who is said to be the best horseman in
France, was in fair way 10 become
her accepted sutton. just then, how.
ever, an unexpected obstacle arose in
the pathway of the young couple. The
Duke insisted that a certain dot be set
tied upon his future bride. The sum
named was OF such proportions as to
render the match impossible. as it was
far above the Senator's means, for he is
not q rich man. Miss Mitchell and her
mother returned to America and lately
the Duke has visited these shores. The
gossips here insinuate that he Is despe-
rately in love with the beautiful Ameri-
can and has come over with 'the ex-
pectaiion of making her his bride after
MI"
